A molecular beam of phenol, cooled by a supersonic expansion, is crossed at right angles by the output of a pulsed frequency-doubled dye laser, causing 1 + 1 resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization. The kinetic energy of the resulting photoelectrons is determined as a function oflaser wavelength with time-of-flight analysis, permitting the assignment of 11 vibrational frequencies for the 2BI ...

The catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of phenol has been studied in trickled bed reactor using 2 wt.% platinum supported on carbon nanofibers (Pt/CNF) as catalyst. The catalyst was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation, and characterized by N2 adsorption, XRD and TEM. The operational variables studied and their range were: total air pressure, temperature, catalyst load, air and liquid flo...

The effect of coaggregation of the two bacterial strains Propioniferax-like PG-02 and Comamonassp. PG-08 on phenol degradation and aerobic granulation was investigated. While PG-02 was characterized as a phenol-degrader with a low half-saturation kinetics constant, PG-08 possessed strong aggregation ability with poor phenol degradation ability. The two strains coaggregated through involvement o...

The coking process produces great volumes of wastewater contaminated with pollutants such as cyanides, sulfides and phenolics. Chemical and physical remediation of this wastewater removes the majority of these pollutants; however, these processes do not remove phenol and thiocyanate. The removal of these compounds has been effected during bioremediation with activated sludge containing a comple...

Studies reported here confirm that the pH indicator, phenol red, acts as a weak estrogen and reexamine the significance of estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects on growth of the human breast cancer cell lines ZR-75-1 and T-47-D in the absence of phenol red. Removal of phenol red reduces but does not immediately eliminate cell growth in the absence of estradici. Basal cell growth can be reduced ...

The intracardiac pathways carrying the cardiovascular reflex responses mediated by cardiac sympathetic and vagal afferent fibers were examined in this study. We investigated the response to epicardial applications of bradykinin (5 micrograms) and nicotine (50 micrograms) before and after regional epicardial applications of 85% phenol in chloralose anesthetized open-chest dogs. Bradykinin stimul...

The first step in molecular analysis of patient tissues is preparation of purified, high molecular weight DNA. A number of methods and commercial kits are available for DNA isolation. Traditional organic extraction protocols (1,2) are based on the fact that DNA is soluble in water whereas lipids are soluble in phenol. In these protocols, tissues are disaggregated and then treated with detergent...

Anacker, R. L. (Rocky Mountain Laboratory, Hamilton, Mont.), W. T. Haskins, D. B. Lackman, E. Ribi, and E. G. Pickens. Conversion of the phase I antigen of Coxiella burnetii to hapten by phenol treatment. J. Bacteriol. 85:1165-1170. 1963.-Trichloroacetic acid extracts of Coxiella burnetii are converted to hapten by treatment with phenol. Such extracts react, like the original trichloroacetic ac...
